Businessman Vasil Sopromadze, founder of the company "Fresco", addresses politicians. In the video address, Sopromadze slams the government for its attitude to business and urges politicians to use common sense.

“I, Vasil Sopromadze has not stopped, I speak, fight despite I have been hung in the air by the agencies of the Finance Ministry, which have failed to make a tax conclusion even based on violation of all regulations, because they know that they are totally wrong. I address you – politicians, who fill your cars with petrol at our filling stations, who buy products in our markets, who are provided with services by our banks…You led the country to this situation, you sirs! You and not the opposition. You are disputing with each other, what do you want? These hungry people, I do not speak on behalf of people, I speak what I feel that people live in poverty…They voted for you in exchange for corn-flour and 5, 10 Gels. And don’t you know where from are you? How did you get in Parliament?

-What do you want from us? What should we do? We ask you what we should do. You tell us to protect ourselves, is it the Wild West? Do you want us to take the Winchesters, what do you want from us to do? We do not mean that if something is wrong, there should be no punishment. We ask you to investigate, prove and punish…

I have often heard that there should not be privileged businessmen in any country. I agree with it. But is it right when my rival “Carrefour” does not pay VAT taxes and the state budgets loses millions? Is it the right attitude to business?

I urge you once again “ don’t treat business like a hooker. Believe me, the business will give you a proper answer. When one day you go out of your homes and you will not be able to fill your cars with petrol at our filling stations, to buy products in our markets, to be provided with services by our banks, I mean you, politicians, we will definitely do it. I advise you to use common sense. I don’t think you will forgive me it. You know my address, you know where my head office is, and you have a full information about us, I am waiting for you! I will achieve my goal! “ businessman Vasil Sopromadze says in his vide address.
